Pet SItting FAQS

What happens if there is an emergency while I am traveling?

We have a documented emergency protocol. Your Pet Care Provider contacts our management team, we reach out to you and your emergency vet contact, and we can transport your pet to your vet or the closest 24 hour emergency hospital (Animerge, Oradell, or Red Bank Veterinary Hospital depending on where you are in the county). Your app profile has all of your vet info, medical history, and authorization on file so we can act fast without waiting on paperwork.

Will my dog be alone overnight if I book drop-in visits instead of overnights?

Yes, and for many dogs that is completely fine. Confident adult dogs who are used to being home alone during workdays usually do well with 3 to 4 drop-ins. If your dog has separation anxiety, is a puppy, is a senior, or has never been left overnight before, we strongly recommend adding overnight sitting so someone is in the house from evening to morning.

How many visits per day does my dog need when I am out of town?

For most adult dogs, 3 visits a day works well: a longer morning visit, a midday check, and an evening visit. Puppies, seniors, or dogs on medication schedules often do better with 4. If you want overnight coverage on top of that, we combine both. We will give you an honest recommendation at your meet-and-greet based on your dog's routine.

Do you pet sit for cats, small animals, and exotics?

Yes. We do drop-in visits for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, and fish. Litter box maintenance, feeding, medication, playtime, and a photo report card every visit. If your pet has specific care needs (bearded dragon lighting schedules, insulin for a diabetic cat), we cover it at the meet-and-greet.

What is the difference between drop-in pet sitting and overnight pet sitting?

Drop-in visits are 30 or 60 minute visits during the day (usually 2 to 4 per day when you are traveling): feeding, water, walk, playtime, medication, and a report card. Overnight sitting means one of our Pet Care Providers actually sleeps at your house from evening through morning. Most Morris County clients do a mix: overnights for the night hours, drop-ins for the day.

Do you require a deposit to book a vacation?

Nope! No deposits necessary. If you do need to cancel, you have up to 48 hours before you start getting charged for any appointments.

What if my pet has needs that require special care?

We’ve worked with so many different types of dogs at different stages of their lives and some with very specific needs– elderly, injured, paralyzed, severely anxious, and a whole host of other medical conditions! We’re happy to follow exact care instructions, administer medicine, and do whatever else your pup needs.

How often will I get updates about my pet?

Every time we’re there! You’ll get notifications for when we arrive and then a report card after each appointment is completed. This includes a map of where we went, videos, pictures, and a note of how everything went! Don’t forget you can also message your pet care providers through our messaging system on our app!

Can we follow my pet’s routine while I’m away?

Absolutely, we prefer it that way and I'm sure they do too! Our goal when you’re gone is to mimic their routine as close as possible while even adding a little extra playtime and exercise.
